Jim Brown — Tippett Studio

Tippet Studio Animation Supervisor Jim Brown shares his experience dealing with creative blocks. Deciding how to start a shot can be a challenge in itself, and Jim offers his advice on how to get the creative juices flowing.

Jim suggests starting with a lot of research — YouTube, Vimeo, GlobalZoo, UltraSlow can be great places to get reference. Then, create sketches to create a clear picture in your mind of what you want to achieve. Getting out there and doing your homework will make a huge difference in establishing the foundation for your shot.
